Considered by many to the most complete book ever written on seduction, The Venusian Arts Handbook, 3 years after its release, still has people talking.
Mystery first came to people’s attention in the New York Times bestseller, The Game by Neil Strauss (Style). But Mystery had been a prominent figure within the seduction community for many years previous. He had written thousands and thousands of posts on the internet; theories, in-field reports and techniques.
The Venusian Arts Handbook contains 10 years worth of learning from the VH1 PickUp Artist, condensed down into an easily to understand, comprehensive guide on meeting, attracting and seducing women.
The most intriguing aspect of the Venusian Arts Handbook is the concept of the M3 Model. The M3 Model breaks down almost any successful interaction men have had or ever will have with women, and leads you step by step through how to approach and meet women. Perhaps the greatest part of the handbook is the breakdown of the M3 model…a sequential mode of the phases of seduction. By sticking to the M3 model, you know what to do and when to do it. So, there’s very little guessing as to where you are in the seduction. It is in many ways a must have companion for any Pick-Up Artist.
Do I neg her, do I kiss her, should I DHV? These nagging questions that plague many a set become obsolete when you’re able to feel exactly where you are in the interaction, because you have been controlling everything from the beginning!
The Venusian Arts Handbook is a must read, and a must have for any budding PUA. The Venusian Arts Handbook breaks down the art of seduction and delivers it in an intelligent, concise and clear manner. Not only is the book and its teachings easy to understand, they’re also easy to implement.

The Mystery Method is a patent pending method of seduction. The Method was first introduced by Pickup artist Erik Von Markovic AKA “Mystery” and was subsequently developed by PUA Savoy and other Mystery Method instructors (The Don, Cajun, Ten magnet, Mr. M, Sheriff, etc.) who have revitalized the method into something that works for a wide variety of men, not just those who have Mystery’s looks, height and lifestyle.

The system was initially outlined in posts on the PUA newsgroup “alt.seduction.fast” Since December 2006, Mystery is no longer part of The Mystery Method website and it‘s teachings, he has since launched his own company, The Venusian Arts…a new venture with Lovedrop (Chris Odem) and Matador (Stan Tayi).

The Venusian Arts is a method of seduction; similar to the Mystery Method, as in it teaches the same core principles of ‘game’. In-Field video of the new system in work has shown a few elements of Mystery’s new system, such as: “Mystery’s Kiss Gambit” and a host of new openers which are featured in a new DVD product; Mind of Mystery.

Mystery is responsible for coining a lot of famous terminology now used in the world of seduction: such as “3 second rule”, “set”, “peacocking”, “indicator of interest (IOI)”, “indicator of disinterest”, “last minute resistance”, “routine”, “neg” etc.

Many of the techniques taught in the method are engineered to convey higher value to the ‘target’. Examples include story-telling with embedded (but well concealed) bragging, appearing emotionally un-reactive to ‘targets’ and demonstrating that the user is ‘pre-selected’ by women. These techniques and many others are taught as part of the ‘M3 Model’, which follows a three step structure: attraction, comfort and seduction.

The Mystery Method states that men are attracted to women who offer the highest Replication Value, and women are attracted to the male who demonstrates the highest Survival value. In this scenario it is the male who demonstrates the most alpha like behaviour that will attract the highest value women.

The Mystery Method teaches that people have strong emotional reactions to others with higher value than themselves. Men will have an emotional reaction in response to a very attractive woman, while women will have an emotional reaction in response to men who display the qualities of the ‘Tribe Leader or ‘Alpha Male’’.

This emotional reaction leads to an adrenaline rush, and leads the person to demonstrate abnormal behaviour around the other person. An attractive woman causes this reaction in the majority of men she meets, the Mystery Method teaches that she will subconsciously believe that any male who appears emotionally non-reactive to her is of higher value than her, and she will become attracted to him.

Here’s what The official MM blurb has to say about the method:

The Mystery Method is a step-by-step system. This makes it easy to learn, though much of it requires practice to achieve perfection. Like a Swiss army knife for your personality, the Mystery Method has a tool for almost every real world social situation, from daytime to nighttime, from clubs to coffee shops, whether she’s alone or in a group, with men or with women. The Mystery Method is not always politically correct. It goes against what society says women want, and how men should meet women. Going on endless dinner-and-a-movie dates, bringing flowers and compliments, and hoping for the peck on the cheek at the end of the night is not the most effective way to create solid attraction and real connection with women. Our method is fast, it’s real, and it allows women to experience emotions, experiences, and feelings that create deep attraction and connection.
